My I-526E was approved by the end of September 2025. And I filed AOS I-485, I-765, and I-131 at the beginning of Oct 2025. I took fingerprints in October, too. But I have not yet received approval for these forms. The visa category is current. Should I file an e-request to expedite the processing?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysLook at the processing time for the Field office where you are located to see if outside normal processing time. If yes, e-request. If no, no.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysThe processing times for I-131 and I-765 is about 4-8 months, so these are still within the normal processing times. For I-485, the processing time is over 12 months but could take 18 and more. I typically discourage clients from requesting an expedited processing, unless there are very aggravating circumstances that would warrant that. Also, expedited processing is rarely granted.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysBasically, you can request expedited processing for I-765 and I-131. For I-131, you may do it if you have a very urgent ground such as humanitarian need. The approval of your I-526E is not a reason for the approval of your I-131 and I-765. It is possible that you will get your I-485 approved before your I-131 and I-765 are approved. If it happens, normally USCIS will not approve your I-131 and I-765 because you will get your conditional green card soon.
